Villagers had to borrow from loan sharks on terrible conditions--some even becoming slave labor for the moneylenders.

Any girls who are thinking about banking, bank on not being able to make a copy without a loan officer copping a feel. We even adjusted to the climate. A week into work we were making copies of our genitals and sneaking them into the lunches of our female coworkers. A week after that Peter got a HUGE bonus (read: boner) after firing four women for taking more than three days...
